How to choose your perfect hair color?

Getting your hair color right is actually quite simple. But if you dare to go for radical changes it is important to learn two elementary rules when it comes to picking the best hair color for your hair.

1. Don’t deviate from your natural color range

If your hair is dark and curly and you want to go lighter – do it! But you should remember that your hair will look better if you stay within 3 or 4 shades of your natural hair color.
And vice-versa, if you have fair hair you can go darker but any color too far away from your natural tone will look bizarre.

Guide for going blonde:

* People with light brown to mid brown hair will look excellent with blonde highlights.

* Suits best naturally mousy blondes.

* Redheads don’t give up! You can go blonde but should do it carefully as blonde hair can look very unnatural against your skin tone.

Preferring for brunette shades is fine for blondes, but you also shouldn’t go too dark.

Thanks for the advice, ;)
But, I want to dye my hair red like Rihanna’s and I have dark brown hair at the moment and freckled skin that is kind of pale though doesn’t burn in the sun unless I’m in it for hours.
I have turquoise coloured eyes with a bit of hazel going through it.
Would I suit Rihanna’s hair colour?

I have a golden blonde hair, and I’m planning on going light blonde, my skin is very light, would it look stupid?

Charl, if you are unsure you could try on a wig and see how it looks. Scarlett Johansson and Kirsten Dunst look great as blondes and they have very light skin tone. If you are like them it would suit you but still try on a wig and see how it works for you.

I have light golden brown hair and I want to dye it blonde but I don’t want to bleach my hair! I have never dyed my hair and its in a very good condition. I also have a tanned skin tone and green/blue eyes. What color blonde should I dye my hair in and would I have to bleach it?
